Every god damn person wanted to hear another Dopethrone or Come My Fanatics type album from EW and it's good they didn't repeat themselves. I mean, isn't it better to have see you in hell type riffs where u skip one count, isn't it better to have song such as necromania with more psychedelic style, where bass and drums are fucking great. Wicked Caresses where they build up slowly and than hit u with that atmospheric kind of bluesy and psychedelic heaviness. GOD FUCKING DAMNED THE REAPER with it's sadness and kind of depressive attitude where has no reasons to live and no reasons to die with that guitar tone laid on another guitar but this one has some wah pedal, the only problem i've got with this song is that it's god damn 3:15 minutes long. This album art is fantastic, it's just badass and it doesn't have to be anything else, it just has to be badass. Remember folks it's my opinion that this album is as badass as it gets, it's must to have your own opinion about this album and don't forget that u can always listen to Dopethrone and Come My Fanatics

So far I've only listened to the album once. But my gut feel so far is pretty spot on with your review. It's not bad, but I can't say that I love it either and that could change over time. It seems like they can't or don't want to stay in one place style wise with each album. Which isn't a surprise because no two of their albums sound the same. Even if it's just the production/recording quality. I'll give it more time, but won't be running out and putting cash down for it on vinyl right now.

I'm not down with the riff repetitions either, I think EW could use some more variety on this, especially after taking so much inspiration from 70s rock rather than the usual doom metal. I find the tactless title hilarious! I mean, there's a limit to how much you can copy Black Sabbath, but this is borderline plagiarism in my opinion. On a more serious note: I'm surprised you didn't review Wicked Caresses off the album, it's such an earworm and such a good, memorable song from the album next to See You In Hell

Conflicted... YES !!! I've been on the proverbial fence with "Wizard Bloody Wizard" since its release. After the nonsense which went down on "Time To Die", I figured I was finished with The Wizard. So when 'Bloody' spilled last year I was not in the least surprised by it, in that It seemed as though the band - and more specifically, Oborn - were simply spent of ideas. But now, I rather like how you have placed the album in a retro 'bluesy' context. You have given me a meaningful basis with which to listen to the album with new ears and appreciate it for what it truly is.

I really love the stripped down more proto sound on this album, definitely a good call there. Necromania is the strongest track, that intro riff is simplistic beauty. However, she's so right about the cover. I was going to buy the vinyl until I saw that mess... For a band with some of the most awesome art work, this sleeve was a let down. Overall 3 or 3 & 1/2 is an honest rating, album does tend to drag and get a little boring towards the end.

Electric Wizard haven't made a great album since "Witchcult Today", in my opinion. "Black Masses", "Time to Die" and this newest record each have a song or two which are pretty good, but to my ears, the albums are pretty boring as a whole. Their leaning further into the whole 60's blues, psych and proto punk and garage thing isn't doing much for me, as EW don't seem that great at writing with those influences in mind. I highly doubt we'll get another supremely heavy yet still psychedelic album in the vein of "We Live" or "Witchcult Today", but I can dream. I love "Come my Fanatics" and Dopethrone", but the two aforementioned records really hit the sweet spot for me.

Sara...no need to be conflicted. I'm a long time fan as well and this album IMHO...is terrible. A lot of people have been slagging EW for years now but I've still enjoyed them. Time to Die was a cool album so were Black Masses and Witchcult Today but this new album...Uhg. EW went from being a trendsetter and a trailblazer to predictable trend follower and that's sad for me as a long time fan. This album is very mediocre that it sounds like they didn't even try. I LOVE Blue Cheer but EW sounding like Blue Cheer is NOT what I want to hear from the once mighty EW. Maybe Jus has smoked one too many joints and he's out of riff ideas? I want them to go back to doing new things rather than what they did here which was to sound like every other new Doom band that makes a record now. Honestly if this music was given to me and iw as told it was a new band I wouldn't dig it so the fact that it's EW kinda makes it even worse. Conflicted? Nope. I'm positive that I personally don't dig this album.

Right? Come My Fanatics and Dopethrone were game changers, for me at least. Those riffs, the Boss Fz-2, and everything about their sound was so massive and evil, and a relatively new sound for the doom/stoner genre. And I agree that they've become rather predictable at this point. I'm over-generalizing obviously, but all their songs sound like the Witchcult Today/Chosen Few riff. I'm glad they're still a band, but they're no different than the rest of the general/schtick/retro doom/stoner bands that are out there now. Really disappointed with this one to be honest..
